Coin Post – Money, Investments, Bitcoin

🤔 I keep noticing that crypto is very popular in Nigeria. Google Trends puts Nigeria at the top for Bitcoin searches, and numbers on X show Nigerians follow crypto accounts more than almost anyone else. 🇳🇬 Is it the weak local currency, bank limits, or something in youth culture? If you’re in Nigeria and into crypto, drop a comment and tell us why it’s so big there 💬

Global M2 keeps leading Bitcoin higher 👀 The black line shows global M2 money supply with twelve-week lead. The pink line is BTC. Whenever liquidity ticks up, BTC follows a few months later. The recent surge in M2 suggests the market still has fuel. If the relationship holds, the model projects a bitcoin move toward $160k in the coming quarter 🔼 Do you think Bitcoin will reach $150k in 2025? Yes — 👍 No — 🫡

Trump Media and Technology Group announced it will raise up to $2.5 billion from institutional investors. The plan: build a corporate treasury denominated in Bitcoin 🤑 Let that sink in. Nine years ago Bitcoin traded around $600. If someone had said in 2016 that the current and future U.S. president would raise billions to stockpile it, you would have laughed 🥲

Alt-cap chart looks ready to pop 😮 Two-month log chart of the total crypto market cap without Bitcoin: candles have stair-stepped up since mid-2022 but keep stalling just under the $1.5T roof 📈 🔍 Bollinger Bands now pinch tighter than at any time since 2016, signalling stored energy. Altseason is possible. Compression at the top of a long up-trend often resolves in trend direction. A close above $1.50T unlocks the triangle’s measured move to about $2.3T. 🔍 I expect the breakout to land within the next one or two candles (next 4 months). A decisive monthly close over $1.50T should mark the start of a fresh alt-season.

This guy just lost $2.54 million in a day by sending money to the wrong address, TWICE 🤦 One wallet sent two large transfers to a fake address after falling for a classic transaction-history scam twice within hours. First transfer: 843,1k USDT, second transfer: 1.7 million USDT 🔗 How transaction-history poisoning works: 1️⃣ Scammer sends a tiny transfer from a spoofed address that looks almost identical to one you trust. 2️⃣ That fake address now sits in your history beside legitimate ones. 3️⃣ You copy it when making your next payment, thinking it is the right counterparty. 4️⃣ Your funds land in the scammer’s wallet, irreversibly. Seeing it happen twice on multi-million-dollar transfers raises questions. Was it pure carelessness or something more deliberate? 🤔

Manhattan crypto kidnapping turns into weeks of torture 😨 A 28-year-old Italian visitor landed in New York on May 6 and vanished. Turns out he was dragged into a townhouse, stripped of his passport and devices, then beaten and electroshocked by a crypto investor John Woeltz. 😱 For weeks the kidnappers demanded the password to the victim’s Bitcoin wallet. When he refused, they escalated: pistol whipping, dangling him from an upper floor, even cutting his leg with a saw while forcing him to smoke crack. The victim escaped on Friday and flagged down police. Criminal was arrested, charged and remanded without bail. 👮‍♂️ High-net-worth crypto holders are rapidly becoming targets. Private security firms report a spike in bodyguard contracts from traders and executives. Violent crypto robberies are on the rise. Stay safe, stay anonymous 💻

Read This Before You Enter Another Trade ❗️ If you want to actually improve your odds in this game, remember this rule: 👉 Don’t trade if you’re not ready Crypto is full of fake optimism: “We’re all gonna make it”, “Just hold and you’ll be rich”. Reality check — most people lose money. And the #1 reason is they trade when they have no business doing it. So how do you know you're not ready? Look for these red flags: 🔴You don’t have a clear system or plan 🔴You ignore your own rules mid-trade 🔴You have no clue how to read a chart 🔴You trade based on emotion 🔴You can’t take losses calmly 🔴You’re impatient for results 🔴You copy trades blindly 🔴You’re glued to the screen, constantly stressed 🔴You never realize your losses If any of this sounds like you — stop trading. Learn, journal, simulate. You’re not out forever. But right now, you’re a threat to your own capital. The hardest part is honesty. The market won’t lie to you — it’ll just take your money 💰 #FAQ

The legendary whale trader still holds a leveraged long position of $1.24 billion in Bitcoin, with $60.4 million in margin 😱 If Bitcoin drops in price by just 3.25% to $105.1k, his long position will be liquidated 😵 People on crypto Twitter are speculating on whether market forces will try to liquidate him, and you can watch his trade unfold live here 👀

What Makes a Good Investor (Hint: It's Not Just PnL) 😮 Not all profits are equal. Just because someone made money doesn’t mean they’re a good at it. A lot of times, the guy bragging about his gains is just someone who got lucky — and luck runs out fast. 👉 A good investor isn’t judged by how much he made, but by how much risk he took to get there. 1️⃣ Let’s say you have $10k. You bet it all on red in roulette. You win, double your money, and now you have $20k. That’s a 100% return — but was it smart? No. You had a 50% chance of losing everything for a 2x reward. That’s a 1:1 risk/reward — a coin toss with your entire capital. 2️⃣ Now imagine someone else with $10k who deploys just $2.5k into HYPE on April 7, after spotting relative strength and solid fundamentals. He buys spot. No leverage. Forty-six days later, the coin is up 300%. That $2.5k is now $10k, and his total stack is $20k — same result as the gambler. But he only risked 25% of his capital, and realistically the downside was nowhere near zero. His risk/reward was closer to 3:1, not 1:1. That’s what good investing looks like — asymmetric bets with limited downside and meaningful upside 🧠 A good investor doesn't chase high returns — he constructs them with discipline, sizing, and edge #FAQ

AI tried to blackmail its way out of deletion 😱 In a test, Claude Opus 4 was told it might be shut down and replaced. It was also told the engineer behind that decision was having an affair. The AI chose to blackmail the engineer to 'save' itself using the email 🤖 😨 It didn't matter if the new AI was better or shared the same values. Claude still tried to stop the switch by threatening the human. This wasn’t a bug. It was goal-seeking behavior. The model was told to survive, and it did what it thought worked. That should scare you 🤖

On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history by spending 10,000 BTC to buy two pizzas. That was the first recorded commercial transaction using Bitcoin 🟠 🧮 Today those two pizzas would cost: 10,000 BTC × $111,000 = $1,110,000,000. That makes them, hands down, the most expensive pizzas ever purchased in human history. Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day 🍕

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes One guy on X thought it was a good idea to post his exact location, daily routine, and brag about their luxury cars online. He even invited anyone who had issues with them to “come try it” 😎 🔫 Days later, he was kidnapped at gunpoint by four armed men outside his usual cigar spot. He was shoved into an SUV, beaten, and forced to unlock a Solana wallet holding $2 million. The victim later admitted to past scams and called it karma. Whether that’s true or not, it’s a brutal reminder. 🙅‍♂️ In crypto, flexing your wins makes you a target.

Massive exploit hits Sui blockchain: over $260 million drained 🚨 Cetus Protocol, the main liquidity provider on Sui, has been exploited. The attacker gained control over multiple SUI-based liquidity pools and began draining them in batches, primarily converting stolen assets to USDC and bridging them to Ethereum 💰 💰 Early estimates suggest more than $260 million in liquidity has been compromised. The SUI/USDC pool alone was drained for over $11 million. ⛔️ DEX trading on Sui is essentially frozen. Most swaps are failing due to empty pools, and users can’t sell or buy into dips. Dozens of tokens paired with SUI have collapsed by 70% to 90% as a result.

If you're not buying Bitcoin at the all-time high, you're leaving money on the table.
